So, the UFC 183 main event was pretty weird, right? Anderson Silva and Nick Diaz conspired to produce a spectacle that was bizarrely compelling in every sense of the phrase. In truth, even the buildup to the fight was a little peculiar. Unlike most mixed martial artists, Diaz doesn’t tend to offer his opponents much respect prior to a bout. There are no smiles, fist bumps, handshakes, etc. And brohugs are absolutely out of the question. It was odd, then, to watch the 31-year-old offer Silva a ha read news >>

The UFC returns to the MGM Grand for the second pay-per-view event this month, this time with a somewhat bizarre if delightful middleweight main event between Anderson Silva and Nick Diaz.

Does Diaz have enough offensive tools to earn the biggest win of his career or is 'The Spider' set to return in triumphant fashion? I answer these questions and more with my predictions for Saturday' read news >>

LOS ANGELES -- A strange video of Anderson Silva apparently knocking out a training partner with a knee aired on Brazilian television this week. A clip made its way to Twitter on Tuesday, queuing up multiple questions about its validity. UFC fighters Alexander Gustafsson and Phil Davis and their Alliance MMA head coach Eric Del Fierro both watched it Tuesday during a media luncheon to promote UFC on FOX 14: Gustafsson vs. Johnson.

His wife, Kaitlyn Grispi was largely dismissive of any abuse she'd suffered, or any evidence of abuse discussed. Grispi for his read news >>

I hear bizarre call outs are all the rage these days. Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight contender Phil Davis took a convincing unanimous decision win over Glover Teixeira in the co-main event of UFC 179: "Aldo vs. Mendes 2" inside Maracanazinho Gymnasium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (replay here). In doing so, he inched himself one step closer to a potential 205-pound title shot -- then grabbed the mic and inexplicably called for a fight against former middleweight champion And read news >>
